Chambal – We are talking about the ‘Dum Lagake Haisa’ fame actress Bhumi Pednekar whose Instagram handle is all the rage in the media. She recently has visited Chambal and shared some images that speak a thousand words about Indian villages.

The rustic villages of India has their own conceit of cultures and outright refuses to change, we are rather proud of this attitude and completely vouch for it.

Whenever we set foot in an Indian village, we are readily rewarded with paddy fields seamlessly spanning miles, cattle grazing cowboys with Indianized appeal, mud huts, simple lifestyle, happy faces, tubewells, muddy roads, and everything that is rooted in nature, hardly ostensive.

There is no air of pride and effort to prove, they are as innocent as they come and Bhumi too seems to be smitten by this ageless incorruptibility of Chambal so that she shared some pictures of her love-affair with this Indian village.

1. The goat is a common sight:

Every rural household raises and breeds goats for they bring financial profit in the aftermath. So, obviously one can’t go without seeing a goat in an Indian village. Bhumi too bumped into a cute goat and could not help cuddling it.

2. Her love for the goat continued:

She seems to never get enough of it as it well reciprocated her adoration. She held the goat in her arms for some more time and went click. Click. Click.

3. The setting sun:

It gets more picturesque if you take a picture in the dusk and dusk in Indian villages is a sight to watch. In this picture, the nature has outwitted the beauty of Bhumi unapologetically and she too is happy about it.

4. The good morning selfie:

In an Indian village, you don’t need to pretend to be happy and wear fake smiles. They are organically and pathologically happy and their happiness is infectious. You will open your eyes to the miles of paddy fields with fresh morning air beating against your body and caressing your hair. Bhumi shared this morning selfie from Chambal and we completely get the idea how she was feeling right then.

5. Bonding with villagers:

As mentioned above, villagers will embrace you with open arms for the beautiful hearts they have. They will not judge, they will love. So, if you love them, you will be loved in return in tenfold. Bhumi took some time out of her busy schedule to share a snippet of her previous picture with the village women and they bonded instantly.

6. The mountains:

Bhumi has an eye for detail and she seems a perfectionist too as she chose the pastoral mountains for the background of her photo.

7. The nature:

Bhumi, like us is a nature lover too hence she didn’t just stop at taking her own photo, she shared a picture of the real hero there, the unblemished nature.

These pictures are so relatable that it made us craving for more. May be you want to visit an Indian village right now too.

The term ‘fat’ becomes a tainted mark on your personality if you are slightly healthy and especially if you are a girl.

There would be loads of fashion experts suggesting ways to reduce that extra mass.

The movie #DumLagaKeHaisha on the contrary will show you how to wear your mass with flamboyance.

Yes if you happened to watch the film over the weekend then I am sure you must have developed an immediate likeable factor about the heroine.

The movie starring Ayushmann Khuarrana and Bhumi Pednekar as the main lead is not very appealing in terms of the entertainment factor. The film is rather lengthy. Nonetheless the personality depicted by the female lead – Bhumi is class apart.

She is without doubt the scene stealer.

The typical crave of the dream girl limits to figure and looks. Doing a fashion post I would not get into the ideal zone and preach about broadening outlook.

But beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. The beholder doesn’t necessarily have to be someone.

Before expecting others to see your inner beauty it is important that you first admire yourself.

If you are confident about your looks then no matter what people say you will always look beautiful. This is depicted in the character of Sandhya in the film played by Bhumi Pednekar. She tries wooing her husband Prem Prakash Tiwari played by Ayushmann but her life doesn’t revolve only around her husband. She makes it clear that she won’t take any s**t from anyone be it her in-laws or even her husband.

She files for a divorce and she makes the decision if she wants to be with him or not. Even though she loves him, she is not at his mercy.

This attitude of self-love is the most striking point in any personality.

The intellectual reverts to the hurtful taunts is another way of displaying your personality and sometimes silence is golden.

For example there is a scene in the film where her aunt-in-law deliberately asks her if people in her family go for morning walks. She reverts saying she does Yoga at home. The aunt replies “haan wo toh dikh raha hain.”

One would immediately expect the other person to feel hurt or show some sign of anger but when her aunt-in-law taunts her she simply ignores the comment and continues her work.

She loves her body and clearly she isn’t ashamed of it.

The silence and content expression would kill the person taunting you as to how you are so unaffected.

Last but not the least her dressing sense is also very classy. She wears mostly full sleeves sweaters blending perfectly with the sarees.

The attire beautifully compliments her figure and not to forget the hand bag on her shoulder adds simplicity to her unique personality.

If you have these 3 things: self-respect, killer IQ and flamboyance then you can change the perception just like Bhumi Pednekar does in this film as she shows how being fat is fashionable too.

A brand that started the Size Zero trend and glamourized it enough with Kareena Kapoor donning the figure, Yash Raj Films have now come up with a plus size love story, Dum Lagaa Ke Haishaa where a couple is forced into mass marriage in an arranged set-up but if you are thinking that this would be a complete mushy-mushy experience like other Yash Raj movies, you will be taken in for a ride when you watch this movie.

Ayushmann Khurana and Bhumi Pednekar

Albeit the movie has not performed too well in theatres on its opening day but critics say that the movie could have performed better had it been the single movie to be screened yesterday. There have been other releases like Ab Tak Chappan 2 and previous week movies like Badlapur shadowing their effects on this one. The movie is set to do better as much as it spreads through word of mouth.

And you bet it will as the film is rooted in the much-adored 90s era when things were a little less complicated. Pop culture, video cassettes and Hindi film music had disseminated its virus in all homes and lives during this time. This was the time when Kumar Sanu’s soulful voice had its effect everywhere and was the rage then along with ‘Mile Sur Mera Tumhaara’ making its entry in the then trending Colour TVs.

The music of 90s is particularly played in the movie in a music library that Prem (Ayushmann Khurana) has started running owing to family pressure. He has played the role of a grown-up child who is still living under the shadow of his father, following his guidance for every big decision in his life. Prem’s music store is not doing too well and there is a big financial crunch owing to Prem’s failed attempt at studies especially English, that is overshadowing his family and it is this family pressure and penniless condition that provokes Prem to get married to heavy-weighted (85 kgs.) or rather cutely plump Sandhya (Bhumi Pednekar) who is educated and ready for a good job.

Bhumi Pednekar

An era when we sometimes behave as narcissists and pose for selfies, where looks are all that matters, here is a love story which focuses on other factors that are most important in a relationship. Underlying the timely humour and wonderfully shot grumpy expressions of Prem are deeper concepts of married love, divorce and ego clashes in a relationship.

The mainstream Bollywood cinema while concentrates on glamorous looks and slender physique especially for actresses, we have Bhumi’s confident self who expresses herself as freely and openly as an average ordinary woman living her life daily. There is no glam quotient in this movie however, it is bound to touch hearts with its way with comedy and the way the screenplay brings out the little joys and sorrows of life that are realistic and are therefore effective in making the audience smile as well as shed tears at the same time. Here it certainly moves beyond the mawkish, manipulative and make-believe scenes that have so become a part of contemporary cinema off late.

The dialogues and music are sure to make you connect to the situation and bring a smile on your face especially when Prem’s mother and Sandhya’s mother-in-law, Alka Amin does not give you the saas-bahu melodrama playing the nosy grooves. Instead when she says, ‘Angreji Film Lagayi, Kranti aayegi bechare mein’, it is sure to make you have a hearty laugh.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha Family

Kumar Sanu makes his comeback with this movie with the song, ‘Dard Karaara’ and can be very well defined as the spirit in and of this movie as even Prem is shown to be a diehard fan of Kumar Sanu.

The mass marriage concept is another interesting part of the movie and it is even more enticing to know that while Ayushmann had still read about these kinds of marriages in certain parts of India, Bhumi did not have a clue about it.

The romance between Prem and Sandhya becomes more believable and relatable more so because of Bhumi who plays the qualified and talented school teacher with common notions of love and marriage which seem difficult to happen for real only as for Prem size is the hurdle which is why he feels embarrassed to walk with Sandya in the market, let alone any sort of physical attraction. The marital troubles augment to such a level that the couple lies on the brink of divorce. While Sandhya tries her best to attract her husband even with a silk nightie, he cannot look beyond her well-rounded figure!

Prem’s poor boy looks and the set-up of Haridwar and the scenes of Rishikesh make the movie much more authentic, especially as he looks helpless in front of his family, especially his father. However, the movie yells out predictability but the nostalgic fever that it will leave you with at the end along with the rustic effect of the characters, dialogues and the story line are something worth a watch!

Ayushmann Khurana

After all, this is another YRF where an upcoming actor has been introduced, and this time the importance is given to acting, not glamorous looks or the vital stats of the actress! Especially for those of you who still miss the Limca ads, the rickety Bajaj scooters, this movie has the old-world charm with the narrow by-lanes and the traditional small houses alongside river Ganga that will leave you jarred and reminiscent.

Here’s a film presented by Aditya Chopra and directed by Sharat Kataria (of the fame Bheja Fry and Bheja Fry 2) that makes a ‘loser’ appear a ‘hero’.

All in all, this film is much different than the clichéd Bollywood love stories where looks are the go-to-factor for the other partner. For instance even in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Anushka Sharma is shown to fall in love with Shahrukh Khan only after he poses as the spikey-haired casual guy and not the simple average looking office-goer! This movie seems to be Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi in reverse as here the man rejects the woman, but there are twists and instead of Sandhya making it an issue and whining for it, she rather lets Prem have his own share of complaints and grumpiness, which adds to the hilarious part of the movie. Unconventional as it is to think of an overweight movie as one of the protagonists, it is invariably sweet yet grounded in reality – makes the whole thing appear so genuine and memorable! The film presents a situation many would relate to and some would eve fiind themselves lost in the past decade, reviving an interest in Yash Raj Films and such coming-of-age movies.

Bollywood Wants Healthy Actresses!

This must have made you totally confused as to which direction is Bollywood moving in, right?

Hollywood and the whole of western media show women skinnier than skinny and Bollywood wants women to look healthy (fat, for common man’s understanding!)?

How can this be?

What has brought such a change in our Hindi film industry which is most of the times so hypocritical about physical appearances?

First of all, let us tell you the reason for this story. This is based on the latest trailer of an upcoming movie of Ayushmann Khurana titled, Dum Laga Ke Haisha! Being produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Maneesh Sharma (of Band Baaja Baarat fame) the interesting about the movie is that it is about a husband and wife in which husband is thin while the wife is heavy or rather fat.

Director Manish with Leading star cast of Dum Lagake haisha

Given this premise, as per the trailer, no one is planning to lose weight or gain weight, but letting love develop irrespective of the sizes!

Interesting, isn’t it?

Never before it has been attempted in Bollywood that over-weight has been celebrated, accepted and used to show that love can happen anytime, anywhere, between any two people and physical appearance isn’t that important. In this context, it is definitely a coming of age cinema, feeding into the changing sensibilities of society and contributing in its own sweet manner to the idea of love being above everything else.

However, the trend was started some time ago when Hindi film industry, notoriously known for its size zero actresses and promoting thinner than thin figures for girls, started writing and giving roles to girls who were on the heavier side in real life.

Vidya Balan

The best examples are Vidya Balan and Parineeti Chopra. Both are examples of girls who are terrific actresses and despite not having the so called perfect figure are getting roles in film after film purely on the acting talent!

Parineeti Chopra

In this movie, a new girl is making her debut.

Her name is Bhumi Pednekar and she is the one who took auditions for Parineeti Chopra’s debut movie! Bhumi has been working with Yash Raj Films for some time now and fits the role to the T! The trailer is impressive and looks like the movie is going to be fun without being preachy.

Bhumi Pednekar

It is high time such themes and stories are explored in our industry, which are closer to reality, give a message and are still full of entertainment!

Kudos to Aditya Chopra for thinking out of the box and producing a film like this! Hopefully, the film will be as much fun as the trailer is!

Do watch it and share your views with us!
